Spin Ink is Now Mirroring PennFans.Net Files
I am a huge fan of the PennRadio show, hosted by Penn Jillette and Michael Goudeau. I have been listening to the show since it began back in January. I have always appreciated Penn Jillette’s sense of humor, but I never realized what a wonderful story teller he is. I knew I would listen to every PennRadio show I could get my hands on when I heard this episode[mp3], which was the basis for what is now known as ‘Monkey Tuesday‘. In this momentous show, Penn told some of the funniest stories I have ever heard in my life. These stories ranged in topic, but my personal favorite story was known as “The Story of the Monkey and the Dwarf“. There were also stories about people wearing various costumes, such as a giant chicken costume, a power ranger, and a gorilla suit. I laughed so hard that, had I been driving, I could have been killed!
When PennRadio first started, it was only broadcast over the radio. Despite the technology to do so, CBS was reluctant to make the show available as a podcast. To fill the demand, PennRadio listeners began recording the streaming audio many radio stations offer through their websites’, and then posting them all over the web. At the first of this year, I was looking for a reliable source of PennRadio shows, and I found PennFans.Net.
The site’s admin, Zac, dutifully records PennRadio episodes, trims them up, encodes them as mp3s, and then posts them to his website. He does a wonderful job and if you appreciate the show, you should make a donation to help him cover his hosting costs. Just last week, after being ‘dugg’, he used 120GB of bandwidth in a 24 hour period! In an effort to help Zac deal with the increasing bandwidth consumption on his site, I am now mirroring PennFans.Net files.
